From New York Times bestselling author Jane Feather comes
the first of a wonderful new trilogy, The Blackwater Brides,
set in the sensually im-proper Georgian period, in which
three noble brothers discover they will be forced to find
brides under highly unusual circumstances.
Jasper Sullivan, Earl of Blackwater, needs a prostitute. Not
in the usual way, however. His wealthy uncle’s will promises
to divide his huge fortune among his nephews if each rescues
a fallen woman . . . by marrying her! And since Jasper’s
estates were already mortgaged to the hilt before he
inherited them, when he catches a pretty young prostitute
trying to pick his pocket, he immediately makes his proposal.
Clarissa Astley is not at all what Jasper believes. The
orphaned daughter of a prosperous merchant, she is searching
the seedier districts of London for her young brother,
abducted by their evil guardian, who wants the little boy’s
inheritance. But she needs powerful help, and the darkly
handsome Earl of Blackwater is certainly that. So she
pretends to be exactly what he assumed— a risky charade for
an innocent virgin. But when passion flares between Jasper
and Clarissa, the deception becomes even more difficult to
handle. . . .
